A practical companion,
By circleMstudios (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Better Picture Guide to Black & White Photography (Paperback)
Author/photographer Michael Busselle offers the reader both vision and insight. In razor-sharp prose, Mr. Busselle not only presents the final image, but also explains (in layman's terms) how that image was created. If you are looking to expand your horizons in black & white photography, this is the book for you. You will learn about lighting, shooting, printing and most importantly, seeing. A must have for the serious amateur or professional.

A Mini-Workshop on B&W Photography,

This review is from: Better Picture Guide to Black & White Photography (Paperback)
The format of this book is pleasurable but different. Rather than straight text and photos the author shows you an image and then explains how he made it by explaining three steps: Seeing, Thinking and Acting. There are also handy rules of thumb and the images show Busselle to be a really good photographer. I learned a lot from the book, but don't expect traditional,lengthy text. This was fine with me. Shorter explanations often require more thought on the part of the writer.

By A Customer
This review is from: Better Picture Guide to Black & White Photography (Paperback)
This book is set up in a pleasing and calm style that eases the reader through various situations. The photographer is urged to go slowly and consider all the aspects of the situation he/she has encountered. Too often, many photographs are taken in great haste where slowing down and really seeing all the aspects of a great shot could result in wonderful work. This book helps enormously. Some of the technical data offered could be more extensive. The author never shares f-stop and shutter speed numbers.
